June 5 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis
Race 1 (1,000m) 8) TOP DIVISION might well be good enough to win on debut. Jockey Gavin Lerena is carded to ride him, so he should be fit and ready for this. (9) MASTER'S LADY ran well on debut but she was at a huge price, which indicates a surprise run from her. (5) BUMPS LAST GRIND changed trainers since some fair runs at Fairview and could be a threat. (1) ALESIAN BEAU has been unreliable but is capable of contesting the finish. Race 2 (1,000m) (7) HAWKSDALE showed promise on her debut in May. Will have more to offer. (1) SUMMER WINTER has shown improvement of late and should fight out the finish. (8) HURRICANE POWER was not disgraced on debut and should show vast improvement. (4) BILINGUAL is consistent and is clearly not out of it. Race 3 (1,450m) (10) WAITING ON CHARLIE looks likely to step up on what she has shown. She has needed her last two runs and looks set for a big performance. (3) MISS TAKES is drawn wide but is not out of it. (4) TRIP TO STATES is battling to win a race but could play a minor role. (6) SASHA LEE can contest the finish again. Race 4 (2,600m) (2) DOUGLAS DRAGON is improving and could have the run of the race from a good draw. (1) TO THE RESCUE is not an easy ride but is quite capable of winning a race like this. (6) MO MENT is much improved and could make all the running in this small field. (7) IDEAL FUTURE is also capable of getting involved. Race 5 (2,000m) (3) LADY NOIR showed what she is capable of with an easy win last time and could have more wins in her tank. (1) TEO TORRIATTE does not always show her best but she has a chance to win a race like this. (2) PATCHES OF GREY has been fair of late and can be very competitive in this line-up. (6) SILVER FLARE did not show her best last time but could surprise. Race 6 (1,600m) (1) KUDZU has to give weight to all his rivals but he has been good of late and is well drawn. (2) ESPINOZA is unbeaten in two starts since being gelded and has been winning his races with authority. (12) OBSIDIAN is improving and should be right there at the finish. (13) SUPER AWESOME is holding form and has a winning chance. Race 7 (1,600m) (1) LADY SABRINA returned from a break in good shape and can go one better this time. (4) UNSOLVED RIDDLE has improved for trainer Grant Maroun and could double up on a good last win. (6) FLAG BEARER is not reliable but is also not out of it. (7) LIBECCIO is unreliable but could contest the finish. Race 8 (1,600m) (2) GREGARIOUS returned from a break in fine form and was an impressive winner. She could have a lot more wins in her. (6) WARNING SOUND was no match for Gregarious last time but can turn the tables if she gets a clear run. (4) FUTURE DATE is consistent but might need this run returning from a break. (3) PLAY WITH FIRE is in good form and has drawn well. Race 9 (1,000m) (8) CAPTAIN SELVIE might prove a bit better than these rivals. She has not done much wrong. (5) LONELY AS A CLOUD has some fair form and should be competitive in this line-up. (3) PHANTOM EXPRESS is well drawn and should fight out the finish. (7) INAFIX remains in good shape and is another to consider.

Nicki Minaj makes statement move after sister Ming Li cast in 'Baddies Gone Wild' by Natalie Nunn
Nicki Minaj has reportedly unfollowed reality television producer Natalie Nunn on Instagram following the casting of Minaj's younger half-sister, Ming Li, in the upcoming series Baddies Gone Wild. The development was revealed via a post by Twitter aggregator SOUND | Victor Baez, who shared screenshots showing Minaj no longer follows Nunn's account. The decision appears linked to the new Zeus Network spin-off, which premieres Sunday from Brazil. In a preview clip, Nunn interviews Ming Li and alludes to past tension with Minaj, referencing lyrics from Minaj's 2023 verse on Lil Uzi Vert's "Endless Fashion". In the track, Minaj raps: 'Ayo, even if my name was Natalie Nunn / You b*tches still couldn't chin-check me.' Though previously taken in stride by Nunn, who publicly thanked Minaj for the mention, the recent remarks on the show suggest deeper issues may have surfaced. Ming Li, also known as Ming Luanli, is an 18-year-old aspiring rapper and entrepreneur. She is the half-sister of Nicki Minaj, sharing the same father, Robert Maraj. Despite their family link, Ming has spoken openly about her distant relationship with Minaj. In interviews, she said she was bullied due to public perceptions about their connection and expressed a desire to be known beyond her sister's fame. Tensions reportedly intensified after Ming's appearance on the We in Miami podcast, where she addressed her sister's lack of involvement in her life. Minaj later responded cryptically on Stationhead, stating, 'You have to go and get your own. Being a mooch and a clown don't run in my DNA.' Ming Li, who recently debuted on Rakeem Love's single Do It Again, also co-owns a crypto exchange called Quantum Swap. She has publicly shared her bisexual identity and expressed hopes of carving out her own path.
